Change of Water Discharge Capability of Sluice Caisson for Tidal Power Plant According to Installation of Rubble Mound

In this study, the results of experimental investigation on the water discharge capability of sluice caisson for tidal power plant were presented. In particular, the focus of the study was placed on the examination of change in water discharge capability of a sluice caisson according to the installation of rubble mound. For this purpose, a hydraulic experiment was carried out in an open channel flume with a great care to the measurement of discharge and water level in the flume since they greatly affects the estimation of the discharge capability of each sluice caisson. In the analysis, the experimental data of four different sluice models were used, which showed that the installation of rubble mound affects in different manner depending on each sluice caisson model. When each of the four sluice models were placed on the rubble mound respectively, the water discharge increased for one sluice caisson, whereas decreased for other three sluice caissons. Further detailed analysis is needed to quantitatively estimate the influence of installation of rubble mound on the water discharge capability of a sluice caisson.
